In the early morning, Jiang Huaizhou came to the Regent's Palace with serious injuries. He knelt down on one knee beside Wen Guang, who was holding a long whip for morning exercises, and reported to his father: "My son did not do well and failed to complete the tasks assigned by his father. Five thousand elite soldiers were taken over by the king."
All the 10,000 cavalry were forced back into the capital barracks! Your Majesty has protected hundreds of miles around Nanguo in Huainan, so you cannot trap and kill the refugees. This mission failed!"
"How dare you send troops to openly embarrass me!" Wen Guang quickly helped Jiang Huaizhou up and looked at Jiang Huaizhou's injuries carefully, "Who seriously injured you!"
"It's your Majesty." Jiang Huaizhou clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty said that he saved the Huainan people's disaster. If you have any objections again, he will make us pay the price with blood. The injury on his son's body is just a warning. Justice.
Father, son, I think we might as well take a step back this time. If we force it, civil war will be inevitable. It will actually waste money and people, and it will not be good for us! No war is the best policy!"
"Take a step back?! Impossible! That boy ignored my wishes and seriously injured you, which is like a slap in my face! If I take a step back, it will give the ministers a signal. In the future, he will
Fu Jingheng is above the regent!"
Wen Guang was so angry that he drew out his sword and killed several slaves in one breath before calming down the anger in his heart. Fu Jingheng became more and more powerful and domineering, and he began to feel uneasy in his heart. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Only one person can sit on this dragon chair in Guangli Kingdom.
have to.
Jiang Huaizhou looked at the several slaves on the ground who had been beheaded to death, and clenched his hands, feeling unbearable for the innocent slaves who died, "Father! Calm down! These slaves are not guilty."
"Zhou'er, my father is also very angry. These slaves, my father will give some money to their families. Don't worry, your adoptive father will hire the best doctors and use the best medicinal materials for you. Dad will give you
Heal the injury." Wen Guang looked at Aizi distressedly and said, "It must have been your sister who managed to save you from Fu Jingheng?"
"It was Jin'er who saved me." Jiang Huaizhou said worriedly: "Father, we need to withdraw Jin'er from your Majesty's hands as soon as possible. Your Majesty has already become suspicious of Jin'er, and Jin'er is in dire straits every day, walking on thin ice!"
"You don't need to worry about Jin'er." Wen Guang sat on the stone chair and teased the thrush in the bird cage with a wooden branch. "She has already sent a letter to the king, saying that she is pregnant with a dragon heir.
Fu Jingheng attaches great importance to children, which is really a great help to our plan. Jin'er wrote to say that Fu Jingheng is currently preparing to transfer the food in Huatian and Qingxi 2 granaries to the untouchables to cope with the famine. Humph, I thought Huatian, Qingxi 2
I have no connections in the granary, but I have underestimated me! Want to be a wise king who opens a granary to store grain? I want him to be a wise king! Sooner or later, he will fall into trouble!"
***
Dragon sleeps.
Fu Jingheng opened his sleepy eyes. The hangover made his eyes red and his forehead hurt.
He habitually stretched out his hand to his side, intending to hold Wen Jin's soft body in his arms, but there was no one where he could reach it.
He suddenly sat up in shock. The pillow was already warm and there was no trace of Wen Jin. He sat on the edge of the bed and propped his forehead. He suddenly became angry after getting up. He raised his hand to pick up the tea cup at hand. The tea inside was still warm. For some reason
, more irritability arose in my heart.
It was as if he had two selves, one relying on Wen Jin's tenderness and consideration, and the other scolding the self who relied on Wen Jin. He threw the tea cup to the ground angrily.
"Old Mo!"
"Your Majesty, we will serve you to change your clothes." Mo Gan came in and helped Fu Jingheng put on his court clothes. Your Majesty usually relied on Master Jin, but now he got angry without seeing her.
Fu Jingheng looked at the court clothes that Wen Jin had arranged in advance and put them on the couch, and asked Lao Mo: "Is Jin girl going to cook breakfast for me?"
"No." Mo Gan raised his eyes and looked at Fu Jingheng, "Master Jin had already left the palace before dawn. Our family saw that Master Jin was wearing very thin clothes when she left. Today is her birthday. She left. At that time, the people in Yilan Palace were happily preparing to get married and return home in three days."
Fu Jingheng clenched his teeth and didn't ask any more questions. He felt lost and left without saying goodbye.
Mo Gan remembered something and asked: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is preparing gifts for Concubine Xue when she returns to Xue Mansion. In the past few days, Xue Ning's Yilan Palace has been severely punished by you and grandma. I'm afraid it will cause Xue Guifei's return. The Prime Minister is dissatisfied with General Lou. Could you please accompany her back to the Xue Mansion for a walk, so that the Xue family and her maternal grandfather, the Lou family, can look good."
Fu Jingheng nodded, "I don't have time, please arrange for a few palace officials to go back with Xue Ning."
"Yes." Mo Gan asked again, "Do you want to see the gift?"
"No need. Just arrange it with the etiquette department." After Fu Jingheng tidied up his clothes, he handed Wen Jin's token hairpin to Mo Gan, "You give this hairpin to Xue Ning. The second wife will be happy to get Wen Jin's hairpin. Come over The matter of punishing her was forgotten."
Mo Gan was shocked, "Isn't this the token of love you gave to Lord Jin'er? If Lord Jin'er knew that you gave this pearl hairpin to her step-sister, she would definitely feel sad. She would not let Ajun go, especially to Lord Jin'er. On a birthday, this is... too much."
"She doesn't want it anymore. She won't care who I give it to. You can see how she doesn't care." Fu Jingheng said, looking at the bronze mirror to look at the marks on his neck where Wen Jin had punctured him with a hairpin, and then remembered Wen Jin. Jin's decisive face showed when she stabbed Jiang Huaizhou for him, "Isn't it too much for her to stab me with this pearl hairpin?"
His eyes darkened, and he smashed the bronze mirror with his fist.
Mo Gan did not dare to persuade him any more and hurriedly taught the maid to send the pearl hairpin to Yilan Palace.
When Fu Jingheng came to the imperial study, Liu Yingfu and Shen Zishu had already drafted the official documents for opening the warehouse and releasing grain overnight.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at the official document about the grain storage in the two granaries of Huatian and Qingxi." After saying that, Liu Yingfu presented the official document in front of your Majesty with both hands. "If there is no problem, I would like to trouble you for your approval."
Fu Jingheng took the official document, read it carefully, nodded and said: "Very good, well-arranged and well-organized. I can rest assured that you and Zi Shu will handle the matter. Just go ahead and do it like this. You two must do it in person to make sure there are no mistakes." , this matter is related to the lives of the people, and food must be delivered to the people's mouths, and there is no room for loss."
"Yes." Liu and Shen both said yes at the same time.
Fu Jingheng asked Liu Yingfu again, "Does the person in the Military Aircraft Department who is watching Wen Jin have any news? Did she pass on the news to Wen Jin this time? There is no news about the two granaries in Huatian and Qingxi?"
Liu Yingfu clasped his hands and said: "I asked people to keep a close eye on her. This time she did not pass a letter to the thief. We are still prying."
Fu Jingheng nodded, "Okay. Keep watching her and report any changes at any time."
As he spoke, he put his hand into his inner pocket to take out the royal seal, intending to stamp the official grain release document. Unexpectedly, when he took out the seal, he also took out a bunch of red string bells.
The sound of the bell seemed out of place in the tense imperial study room, and it was extraordinarily out of place.
A thin red rope strung with four or five exquisitely crafted bells rolled on the dragon table a few times before coming to rest.
Extremely fragrant.
Fu Jingheng: "..."
That woman actually put the bell in the inner pocket of my clothes, what is she going to do!
But his mind still couldn't help but flash back to her innocent appearance last night with a bell tied to her white ankle, hugging her body under the water and staring at him with guarded eyes, and his back couldn't help but feel a little tense.
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
The six eyes of Liu Yingfu, Shen Zishu and Mo Gan were fixed on the famous string of red rope bells that were used to add fun to the room. They were stunned on the spot!
Jun... Junshang looks cold and inviolable on the outside, not womanizing, but is he having such fun in private?
